    Maximum frictional force experienced and the acceleration

    Thank you so much for your response! I'm sorry for the late reply. Thank you to the other person who responded as well, I'd respond individually but I'm not sure if that's proper conduct on this board. Ffr = μs*Fn Ffr = 343N * 0.36 Ffr= 123.48N As he only applied 120N, he doesn't...

    Maximum frictional force experienced and the acceleration

    Homework Statement 2. A block of mass 35 kg is on a flat floor with a static friction coefficient of 0.36 and a kinetic friction coefficient of 0.29. A person attempts to slide the box from rest in a forward direction. Find the maximum frictional force experienced and the acceleration of...

    Applying force to an object of equal mass, finding required force?

    Homework Statement The homework question is: "A large football player student (1.0 x 10^2 kg) applies a 6.0 x 10^2 N force to another equally burly student (1.0 x 10^2 kg) sitting on a sled (13.2 kg). If sliding friction and air resistance (drag) is 99.5 N, find the acceleration of the sled...

    Implicit Differentiation Problem

    Thank you for your response! Nope, we haven't done much of anything. We've had a substitute this entire unit and unfortunately none of them have been able to teach us much beyond the first basic rules. d(y^2)/dx= 1/2y ? We haven't done anything using Leibniz notation either, so I'm sorry if...

    Implicit Differentiation Problem

    Homework Statement The P(a,b) be a point on the curve √x + √y = 1. Show that the slope of the tangent P is -√b/a Homework Equations ? The Attempt at a Solution Apparently this is an implicit differentiation problem, however we haven't learned or discussed implicit...
